Blue Gardenia Pattern and Polish Giveaway (and Coupon)!

Aren't we lucky?! Denise of The Blue Gardenia has sponsored a lovely giveaway for us. She's a lady who knows how to put together a good prize, that's for sure.

First up is this lovely Advance pattern in a bust 36". I think this would make a marvelous weekday dress for a career gal in wool crepe. Or it could be a simple weekend number in a candy-colored sateen. So many possibilities!

But that's not all! To complete your look is a Deborah Lippman nail polish in My Old Flame, a creamy classic red.

If you'd like to enter (and of course you would), just leave a comment on this post by Thursday, March 3rd, at midnight EST. Feel free to tell Denise how fabulous she is in your remarks. Winner will be selected by random drawing and announced this Friday. All countries eligible, hooray!

Additionally, Denise is offering 20% off your order of $100 or more at The Blue Gardenia. Use the code Blue Roses to get the discount. There's a bunch of great new 50s patterns in bigger sizes, like this beautiful dress in a bust 40".

Or this chic blouse, in size 38".

The sale runs through the end of the weekend (3/6), so happy shopping!

Agreed, it would look so nice and crisp in a cotton sateen. The stand up collar is very sophisticated and reminds me of Carolina Herrera in her white button downs...I love her no nonsense kind of femininity. Thanks for the generous giveaway, ladies!

What I like best about the Blue Gardenia blog is when she interviews a sewist about their sewing studio. I love to see where others create. I would suspect those articles are hugely time consuming - but so worth it.

Oh My! Denise is awesome! I love that Advance pattern. It really does have a bunch of features that are flattering for my figure! And red nail polishes (and lipsticks) have always been my favorites! Yes, yes, yes, enter me in this give-away drawing please!

a plea to gertie and denise is clearly needed.... from the southwest UK where it is very cold and wet (and it would give me a very good excuse to get hubby to take our 3 little ones out in aforementioned wintery weather to splash in puddles while I get to sew :)

As someone who's following your blog for quite some time now, I feel pretty bad at the fact that my firt comment is on a giveaway post! (Actually, no. This pattern looks great and I'm running out of red nail polish.) And I promise to comment from now on!

Hi Gertie! Love your blog! It inspires me and you even have me considering bangs now. ;-)The Blue Gardenia has such a fun blog! and Her pattern shop is sooo tempting. The Dress pattern would fit me! :-) and red nails are the only ones worth keeping up. :-)
